Do you want to find nearby friends on Facebook or Facebook users who are at the moment very close to your location? Thankfully, Facebook has recently introduced a new feature which allows you to find nearby Facebook users in just a few mouse clicks.

Facebook is releasing yet another essential feature that many users have craved for all these years – Editing comments. The new “Edit” feature that Facebook is releasing enables users to edit their comments, giving them complete flexibility to rewrite and correct their wrongs in their comments.

Yet another new update that has been spotted is the hovercards – the small information box that appears when you hover over a profile name or Facebook page. The hovercards have been upgraded to display the Timeline profile picture along with the cover photo of a user/page when you hover over the name.

Lately, Facebook has been releasing a lot of new features, including some updates to its existing features. Today, the social networking giant made a post from its Facebook Tips account announcing the introduction emoticons to its desktop chat.

Facebook announced on its developer blog that the social network will introduce easier notification controls for applications, groups and other sources. Now users will be able to mute or unsubscribe from a notification “type” directly from the notification drop down menu.

The much rumor acquisition of Face.com by Facebook has been confirmed by Face.com on their blog. Face.com offers facial recognition technology which is already in use at Facebook for auto-tag suggestions when users upload photos to Facebook.

Facebook is testing to add a “Call” button below the user’s cover photo on the profile page, right next to the “Message” button. It is said that the motive behind adding this new button is to remind Facebook users that there is a feature something called as video chat and users need to make use of it.

From the time Open Graph came to existence, webmasters had no other choice but to code their apps to integrate Facebook’s social experience with their Wordpress blogs. Thankfully with the new plugin it won’t be a strenuous task anymore.

One of the biggest problems with Facebook is users inevitably spread messages that look controversial, but are baseless and have nothing in common with reality. A “Facebook privacy notice” has gone viral on the social networking site indicating that anyone can infringe on your right to privacy, since Facebook recently became a publicly traded company.

The best place to instantly spread rumors and hoax messages is Facebook. The social networking giant’s “Share” and “Like” buttons are so powerful that they are enough to spread a message to nearly thousands of people in no time. Sometimes they’re so powerful, controversial hoax messages are gifted with eternal life. That is, they never stop spreading.
